Perry’s view about imposing a no-fly zone over Syria appears to be a realistic approach...

“Arab states, Turkey plan ‘No-Fly Zone’ over Syria “

“Senior European sources said that Arab jet fighters, and possibly Turkish warplanes, backed by American logistic support will implement a no fly zone in Syria’s skies, after the Arab League will issue a decision, under its Charter, calling for the protection of Syrian civilians.

The sources told Kuwait’s al Rai daily that the no fly ban will include a ban on the movement of Syrian military vehicles, including tanks, personnel carriers and artillery, adding that this move would aim at curbing the movement of Assad forces, and cripple their ability to bomb cities. The European sources said the no fly ban might lead to the paralysis of the Syrian regime forces “in less than 24 hours.”

Only if we don't commit combat forces to it, because we don't need another nation-building war. Obozo already got us into one with Libya and that isn't working out too well. Plus we shouldn't be nation-building to begin with, we should only be dealing with direct threats to our national security. I don't give a damn how many Syrians get slaughtered by their own government.
